Chemistry program at Thomas More College provides an excellent foundation.
Our graduates have had consistent success in the following fields. Keep in mind that many of these positions
require advanced degrees.

Chemistry

Choose From Three Degrees

Thomas More College offers a Bachelor of Arts, a Bachelor of Science and an Associate
of Arts degree in Chemistry. You decide which degree is right for you depending
on where you’re
headed. We recommend a second major or an Associate degree in biology, business
administration, computer information systems, criminal justice, economics, mathematics
or physics to broaden your opportunities in business, industry, government
and education. If you’re preparing for medical, dental or veterinary
school, our major program in Chemistry is easily adapted to meet their requirements.
In fact, a Bachelor of Science degree in another discipline accompanied by
an Associate degree (minor) in Chemistry has been a successful strategy for
acceptance into medical schools and other health-related fields.
